Proposed Changes To Obligations Of Overseas Telecomms
As technology and telecommunications markets evolve, it is expected that telecommunications services for New Zealand consumers will be partly or fully based overseas. The Government intends to ensure that all telecommunications providers, including overseas providers, must fulfil relevant regulatory obligations regardless of whether they, or the infrastructure they rely on, is based in New Zealand or overseas.
To achieve this, the Telecommunications and Other Matters Amendment Bill would amend the Telecommunications Act 2001, the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013, and the Radiocommunications Act 1989.
